Approximately 500 attended the event in Dallas Texas, celebrating the 100th Anniversary Experience Exhibition Preview and Dinner Under the Stars. The event was hosted by the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. Girl Scouts of the U.S. National President Connie L. Lindsey and Chief Executive Officer Anna Maria Chavez were honored with delivering the presentation.
"Connie and I, because you guys are from Texas, wanted to unveil a major, major milestone in the Girl Scout history. Connie and I have the pleasure of officially unveiling our commemorative coin that will symbolically launch us into our new century of service to girls. Officially, it’s known as the Girl Scouts USA Centennial Silver Dollar." Chávez stated.
The coin is designed with the faces of three girls scouts, each a representation of different ages and diversity of Girl Scouts. There is a 100th anniversary Treyfoil symbol below them, and the girls are surrounded by the words “Courage”, “Confidence”, “Character”, “2013”, “Liberty”, and “In God We Trust”. The coin was designed by Barbara Fox.
Chris Costello designed the reverse side of the coin. On it are the inscriptions “United States of America”, E Pluribus Unum”, “$1”, and “Girls Scouts. Engravings were done by Joseph Menna.
Upon the end of the design presentation, Lindsey proclaimed, "As I said, it’s a beautiful coin, so it’s going to be a great keepsake, and you’ll certainly want one because once the supply is gone … there will never be another one like it. Our movement will benefit greatly from the sale. So thank you again for your support of Girl Scouts."
